Connoisseur of art, harpsichord aficionado, gardener extraordinaire, and genius of improvisational murder, the inimitable Tom Ripley finds his complacency shaken when he is scorned at a party. The perpetrator: Jonathan Trevanny, a picture framer from a neighboring village. Now, while an ordinary psychopath might repay the insult with some mild act of retribution, the game Ripley has in mind is far subtler, and infinitely more sinister. A social slight doesn't warrant murder of course, just a chain of events that may lead to it.

Remember Dickie Greenleaf? Tom Ripley killed him. The only thing is he keeps ringing Tom up. Enough to make even a cool cucumber like Ripley uneasy. This book immerses the reader in Tom's world at Belle Ombre with the lovely Heloise and the very shadowy world of art forgery and murder.
"Suave, agreeable, and completely amoral ... Tom Ripley stops at nothing--not even murder--to accomplish his goals."--Jacket
